Navanax aenigmaticus from Caribbean

March 5, 2003
From: Nestor E. Ardila

Dear Bill,

Here is a photo of a specimen of Navanax aenigmaticus which was collected manually, in Santa Marta (rocky shore), Colombia, Caribbean coast. It was 7-8 mm long alive. What do you think about the coloration, this is a little different? Probably because this one is a juvenile?

Thanks in advance,
Nestor

Dear Nestor,
I guess this species is quite variable in colour. The blue spots along the edge of the parapodia and the 3 or 4 transverse whitish bands across the body seem to be fairly constant characters. However I have only seen this species from a few photos so I am not an expert on its colour variation
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
